Highly Contagious and Deadly Rabbit Disease Found in California for First Time

A highly contagious and deadly rabbit disease has been found in California for the first time, the state Fish and Wildlife Department said. A veterinary laboratory confirmed the presence of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease virus type 2 in a wild black-tailed jackrabbit that was among 10 jackrabbits...

Is this something that hunters could be infected with and then passed along while handling/consumed even if cooked thoroughly?
I was planning on going this weekend but don't want to be on the news.

I did and that's why I'm asking....last paragraph of the article:

"The department said it would be useful for outdoor recreationists to report sightings of sick or dead rabbits but be careful to not handle carcasses to minimize spread of the virus, which is described as very hardy. Hunters are urged to take precautions as well. "

Article was about jacks they found.

Sounds like ebola for rabbits.

I didn’t read it I just saw the picture of a cottontail. I will just go about by business hunting and eating rabbits.

Notice how lately every animal has some crazy disease. Ever think science is just getting better? Nature is a bitch.

It says they can exhibit no symptoms and then suddenly die. Coincidentally, the same thing happens to them when they encounter my .17HMR...
